Mission Street Food made a menu preparing beef seven (actually, ten) different ways.
Oxtail Terrine with fines herb gelee, root vegetable brunoise, truffled egg, mixed chicories, puffed barley, sorrel
I won’t lie — I ate two orders of the terrine…
Beef Consomme with Marrow Butter Toast, persillade
Surf & Turf: Simmered Atlantic Skate and Crispy Veal Sweetbreads with asparagus, crushed pea, sea urchin emulsion

Aged USDA Prime Ribeye with potato espuma, charred scallion pickle and bearnaise
Tongue & Cheek: Seared Tongue, Braised Cheek, savoy cabbage, demiglace, fresh horseradish
This was easily one of the best meals I’ve had at Mission Street Food. I’m looking forward to the next visit…

















Reasons to move back to NYC — Pies ‘n’ Thighs
